Storm Shadows Sword from G.I. Joe

We took a look at the Snake Eyes sword, but it would not be complete without looking at the Storm Shadows sword as well, as the two really do go hand in hand!

As many of you sword fans already know, Storm Shadow is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe series and television shows and is best known for his history with fellow ninja Snake Eyes. Throughout their history, the duo have been everything to one another from the bitterest of enemies, to the most loyal of friends (and blood brothers of course) who would fight and die for one another.

For those of you who want a bit more information, here you go! Storm Shadow’s real name is Thomas S. Arashikage. Arashi means “Storm” and Kage means “Shadow” in Japanese, which tells you how he got his name. Storm Shadow is the only member of the team to change sides several times as he is conflicted in loyalties between Cobra, G.I. Joe and his strong relationship with his brother, Snake Eyes.

Storm Shadow usually wears a white uniform and a mask and when you do see him out of his uniform, he is usually shown to be Japanese-American with black hair and dark eyes. He is a great ninja warrior and is a covert ops specialist as well, so he is a very useful member - to either side!

This is a great sword for display as it is a stainless steel half white blade that comes unsharpened. It also has a ninja clan symbol engraved on the balde and a cobra head guard and the white handle has twin cobra heads. It also comes with a really cool white scabbard.

Snake Eyes Sword from GI Joe

Something we have to talk about are some great movie swords that are available. We will talk about many of the different movie swords, so today, let’s talk about GI Joe and the Snake Eyes Sword shown in the picture (SA0280).

Snake Eyes is the code name of a member of the G.I. Joe team and much of his history and information, including his real name, and most everything else about him, has remained classified throughout all depictions of his origin. Snake Eyes is quiet in his movements and is a quick and deadly master of many martial arts as he is a full- fledged ninja master.

Snake Eyes has a quiet personality and usually wears what is best described as a black military type ninja bodysuit along with a balaclava and visor to cover his face, which was disfigured in a helicopter explosion. Of course, since then, Snake Eyes has had a lot of plastic surgery to repair the damage he had to his face, however, he still has a few scars left behind. His vocal cords however, could not be repaired after the deadly explosion.

A description of Snake Eyes out of his uniform, is that he is around six feet tall, with an athletic build, blond hair and blue eyes and of course has his Snake Eyes Sword! This sword is a 440 stainless steel unsharpened blade with partial serration and ninja emblem. There is a cast metal guard, a full tang with a poly grip handle and a speckled finish scabbard with a metal accent. This is a MUST HAVE for all the fans of Snake Eyes and the GI Joe movie!
